May I suggest that if your eyesight is so poor that you can't determine if the headlights and roof lights are flashing from 1m away you probably shouldn't be cycling? He and Roland share Anton's syndrome, plus little respect for the truth. Weird, I know - but what else fits the facts (and we know what Holmes would say!). Of course, it could conceivably be psychosis - for Roland, anyway, who seems to determined to throw away whatever respect he'd earned by backing a total loser. -- Andrew "Cyclists of the world unite - you have nothing to lose but your ins" - Marx |

Roland Perry gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: In message , at 23:12:25 on Sun, 15 Feb 2009, Phil W Lee remarked: And I've never seen (or heard) one of those 4x4 suv type vehicles described as an "estate car" either. That's because it's not a 4x4 SUV in the style of a Range Rover, Jeep etc; it has a much lower profile. Here's one with a white bonnet (like the Cambridge ones): http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/ambulance/p1130756.jpg No, it isn't. That's a VW Touran mini-people-carrier. Not only isn't it a Honda CR-V, it doesn't even have a white bonnet as you claim - that's silver. Really, Roland, you do seem to be determined to make yourself look an utter tit in this thread. This is a Honda CR-V, in ambulance livery. http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/ambulance/dsc10899.jpg Blimey! That looks JUST like an ambulance! runs for cover :-) -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." |

Just like, with the VW Roland posted, the word "PARAMEDIC" would be a clue? |

Although I believe they've gone and written it backwards... :-) .... although it does say it the correct way round on the side, albeit in letters that seem disproportionally small to the size of the vehicle, and toward the rear where you might not happen to glance down and see them if approaching the driver's window from the front-quarter. Hard to miss the blue lights on that one, of course - but I believe they were far further back on the Cambridge example, so again perhaps not so obvious from the front (particularly if sitting on a bike)? |

I've not waded through the entire report - I assume there was independent witness that they were indeed working. They do seem like something that would be hard to miss, even if direct sunlight was falling on the front of the vehicle. The other aspects though... well, I think I can convince myself that it'd be possible to not take them on board. Unlikely, but possible. |

I believe the wig-wag flashing headlights were in the same place on the vehicle, though. And of course there's the flashing blue lights each side of the front number plate and just above it. Well, quite. And - since it got snipped a little further up the subthread - here's a pic of an East-of-England paramedic CR-V. http://www.eastamb.nhs.uk/media/pict...AMB_240702.JPG In fact, that CR-V bears the same registration as the one shown in the poor b&w copy of a photo in the PDF report - p44 - and described as "same make, model & colour scheme" |

What "other aspects" distinguish an ambulance on an emergency call from an ambulance not on an emergency call? (No-one has suggested that the sirens were on.) |
